What is Beyond Growth?

Beyond Growth is a collaborative blogging project focused on critiquing and expanding the personal development field. Noting a lack of critical discourse in personal development, Duff McDuffee and Eric Schiller founded Beyond Growth in the hopes of using it as a platform to foster growth and responsibility. The subjects we plan to critique and explore include critical theory, cults, gurus, lifestyle design, marketing, psychology, rising consciousness and much more.
